Federal Coffee + Fine Foods

Everything about this place is way better than it has to be - I’d come for the coffee alone (always brewed strong & perfect, from Indiana roasted beans) - but the breakfast items & baked good are just next level. I visit multiple times whenever I’m in town & here I am, a week later still dreaming about this egg in the hole. The skill on display in this seemingly humble dish!! The bread had a delightful bagel-like chew, the gossamer-thin (quality!) ham was just the right amount, with an egg cooked to such perfection the yolk ate like a savory jam. Perfect sprinkle of cheese- with everything toasted exactly right AND the detail of a little parsley & pepper which if nothing else made a feast for the eyes. I could eat this virtually every day of my life & die happy. Please never let your standards slip, Federal- you are the very best of Terre Haute & I love you.

The coffee here is really good-no sour or bitter after-taste for those of you who like plain black coffee. The scone was tasty but a bit dry. I’d come for the coffee again.

Federal’s delicious coffee is served up by friendly staff with a convenient walk-up window that’s great for passing students! Their food offerings change daily with unique and flavorful meals being prepared by an incredible chef!! The comfortable atmosphere is great for socializing or working, with indoor and outdoor seating and modern style.

While visiting ISU for a conference, I stopped in to check out this coffee shop. It had a super chill vibe and a very relaxing atmosphere. They have a great location on the corner as well as quality coffee with an assortment of goodies. Must try when in town. Thank you for the great experience!

The Breakfast Burger was one of the very best brunch entrees I've ever eaten! Pass on the Strawberry Bubble Waffle unless you're looking for simpler, muted flavors.

The three berry scone was also superb, and the Golden Day Latte was really spicy with a lot of tumeric. Would absolutely go again -- but no waffle, next time. :)
